You keep responding to me, so there must be something that holds your

A funerary jar holds his interest. They tell him, if he's good,
he can have its contents back in the next life.

I've been writing about Etchells in here long before
Oz arrived. My first post on the subject was 1996/06/04.

By the way, E-Ticket, and White Knuckle are both names
of boats in San Francisco. E-Ticket is the ticket you buy
at an amusement park to get on the best rides.

Avalanche and Nosebleed were nicknames for two trails I
used to ski at Lake Tahoe.

Any of which would be good names for an Etchells.

Finally, HOOT is a "hoot" to sail. ECHO is big and comfortable, and
a nice party boat, but not as much fun to sail. HOOT is an E-ticket
white knuckle, avalanche, nose-bleed of a ride.

Bart.... ignore Oz.

That's an interesting idea--tossing the pole around the forestay.

OzOne wrote

Another boat from way back had an assymetric spinnaker that was
attached to the pole.
Gybing and tacking required the mast end of the pole to be removed and
the pole thrown over the forestay and picked up on the other side.
These things always carried kites in light air uphill because the
chute was cut more like a jib than spinnaker...the original screecher
from the 50's

Who did you win that one with? Ed?

I won an Aust Champ in them and a couple of 3rds but after they'd gone
to a double ended pole and conventional but still very flat spinaker,
and looked like the pic above. That was the days of triangular courses
and screaming shy runs.

Maybe he should think of asking for a new set.....

Wow, those are cool boats. They sure have evolved over the years.

Is the 3 person crew mandated by class rule? It seems like a crowd on a
15 footer.

I wish there were some classes like this over here.
